Moderated by Dr. Dorothy Moss
Tuesday, March 18 | 6:00 - 8:00 PM
Join Georgetown University Art Galleries for a panel discussion on Hung Liu: Happy and Gay, currently on view in the de la Cruz Gallery. The conversation will feature leading scholars in Chinese art history: Dr. Mia Yinxing Liu of Johns Hopkins University, a scholar of modern and contemporary Chinese art and media culture, and Dr. Ying-chen Peng of American University, specializing in late imperial and modern Chinese art with a focus on gender and material culture. They will be joined by Jeff Kelley, art critic, author, curator, and husband of the late Hung Liu.
Dr. Dorothy Moss, former Smithsonian curator, distinguished art historian, and inaugural Director of the Hung Liu Estate, will moderate the discussion. Moss, who curated Liu’s 2021 retrospective at the National Portrait Gallery, also curated Hung Liu: Happy and Gay alongside the students of her Graduate-level Curatorial Studies seminar at Georgetown.
The event will serve as the official launch of the exhibition catalogue, featuring contributions from Ying-chen Peng, Jeff Kelley, and the Georgetown graduate student-curators: Brett Everette Adams, Cindy Chen, Hannah Cunningham, Clare Daly, Catie Higgins, Amanda Jones, Rosa Manuel, Ali Mills, Sara Miller, Maia Perry, Sambhavi Sinha, Morgan Stevenson-Swadling, and Kaitlyn Wood.
Hung Liu: Happy & Gay is generously supported by Maria and Alberto de la Cruz and the Hung Liu Estate.
